Hi,

I am using SQL Server 2000 SP3 Version 8.00.7.60. Can I create instances of SQL server 2000 even if it's already installed?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Can I create more than one instance of SQL server 2000 so I can have a testing environment and a live environment?

you can have multiple instances on the same server

they will of course be totaly separated and if you want to share data between then you'll have to set up linked servers.

How do I create them. SQL server is already installed. Is it too late? Or can I still create an instance? How do I do that?

install it once again and chose to create a named instance instead of default instance.
also you might have to consider licencing issues here.

Ensure server hardware can handle multiple instances.
